Hour 2: 4/15/2026

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT A LITTLE PARK MUSIC When a piano appears in the park gazebo, interfering with important work, city manager Allie joins forces with rookie cop Ryan to remove it, only to find both music and love are hard to resist. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A LITTLE PARK MUSIC April 11, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF A LITTLE PARK MUSIC Director: Peter Benson Cast: Laci J Mailey as Allie Beau Mirchoff as Ryan Everett Andres BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Allie is a city manager who talks to people constantly while she walks. The park is about to be demolished. We then meet Officer Ryan Pruett. He's new in town and is insanely detailed. So detailed that he was transferred from traffic because he took too long with the details of the tickets. He gives Allie a jaywalking ticket because rules are rules. She can't believe it. While walking to the office, she sees a piano in the gazebo. It's literally never been there before. So she goes to the police but unfortunately for her, Ryan is on the case. He insists on doing an investigation which gives no answers but that's enough for him to approve having the piano moved. Much to her surprise, the piano is back the next day. But since it's a different one, they gotta reopen the case. They investigate some other people that may be interested but no hits. Let's move that piano! To make sure another piano doesn't show up, they decide to spend the night together in his truck doing a little stake out! They have a great night together, getting to know each other more, and ultimately falling asleep. When they wake up, there's a piano. Wtf! She notices how much people love the piano so she talks to the mayor but hands are tied. There's grant money attached to demolishing the gazebo and putting in a fountain. He is up for a job in Seattle and does an interview and is now able to talk about how much he loves community because of Allie. They figure out who put the pianos there - a woman who got married at the gazebo and didn't wanna see it torn down. But this is life sometimes. It's almost demolition time but another piano shows up. Who is this! The town is pumped! The mayor finally realizes maybe the piano is good for the town. Allie tries to figure out a way to make this work. And she does. Change what the town square is. The gazebo and piano are now just a park. A little park music. He shows up and implies he put the piano there and also he's staying. They kiss. Fast forward 3 months and the gazebo is still crushing it. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

By now, most students who applied to college for the fall semester have received their decisions, bringing a mix of emotions, from excitement and relief to disappointment and uncertainty. For many, especially those turned away from top-choice schools, the admissions process can feel arbitrary and even unfair. Professor Julie Park breaks down what's changed for college applicants since the Supreme Court's 2023 decision restricting race-conscious admissions. She also explores the uneven return of standardized testing and how policy shifts are reshaping who gets into selective colleges and what schools can still do to make the process more fair. For more on this topic: Check out Park's new book, Race, Class, and Affirmative Action: College Admissions in a New Era Read her op-ed in The Hechinger Report, There's a 'cascade effect' from the Supreme Court's affirmative action ban, and it's hurting Black and Latino students Read her essay in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Economic Diversity Is Ticking Up at Elite Colleges.

Why the Last Couch You'll Ever Buy Is the Most Radical Business Idea in America, with Shawn David Nelson What does it take to build a brand designed to last forever — in an industry built on replacement cycles? Shawn David Nelson started Lovesac at 18 with a hand-sewn bean bag made from his parents' chopped-up camping mattresses. He paid $25 to register the company. Today, Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE) operates 300+ showrooms, employs 2,000 people, and is one of the fastest-growing furniture brands in America — anchored by a product philosophy so counterintuitive it sounds almost reckless. They want you to buy their couch once. And keep it for the rest of your life. In this episode, Shawn shares the full arc: winning $1 million on Richard Branson's Fox reality show The Rebel Billionaire in 2004, surviving Chapter 11 bankruptcy two years later, and 10x-ing the company by purging 90% of their SKUs to focus on one brilliant product — the Sactionals modular sectional sofa system. He unpacks the demonstration marketing strategy that turned a showroom into a live brand story experience, the forever philosophy that redefines what sustainability really means, and the Shawnisms from his new book Let Me Save You 25 Years that distill 25 years of hard-won entrepreneurial wisdom. Park also runs Lovesac through the StoryCycle Genie brand analysis — and the results land remarkably close to Lovesac's own mission carved on the wall at headquarters: "We will inspire humankind to buy better stuff." What You'll Discover: • Why demonstration marketing drives 90% of Lovesac's business — and how it converts a showroom into a live brand story • How the forever philosophy turns sustainability from a marketing claim into an engineering commitment • The Shawnism that saved Lovesac from bankruptcy: "You can quit or you can keep going" • Why Lovesac is onshoring manufacturing to the U.S. — and why robots in America will be cheaper than Vietnam • How brand storytelling is 50% of building a remarkable product company — and why Shawn admits it's actually closer to 90% Find Shawn at Lovesac.com and on all social platforms @ShawnOfLovesac.

The Michelin Guide is coming to Pittsburgh! The timing is kind of hilarious, since we just did an episode about why our city doesn't have — or need – Michelin star restaurants. Host Megan Harris and City Cast contributors Colin Williams and Hal B. Klein chat about this development, laugh about our clairvoyant conversation, and share which restaurants they think might (or might not) get a star. Plus, executive producer Mallory Falk joins to discuss a Washington Post editorial chiding Pittsburgh Public Schools for going remote during the NFL Draft. The team also gets into concerns about how our unhoused community might get treated during the draft, PA's first underground state park, and more bad news for Pittsburgh's brewery scene. Then, in a members-only fourth segment, we unpack a juicy profile of the Block brothers and share the latest gossip about the future of the Post-Gazette. Come celebrate Pittsburgh with us on 412 Day! We'll be at Southern Tier Brewing on the North Shore on Sunday, April 12 from 11am-2pm. Find all the details about the free event and RSVP here.

Cambrian Park Plaza, a strip mall in San Jose, was once the heart of the neighborhood. Featuring a bowling alley, grocery store, post office, clothing stores and more, it had everything nearby residents might need. But it's faded significantly since it's heyday in the 1960s-1980s. Now the smattering of stores that are there are on short term leases, and may storefronts sit empty. On today's show, we explore the fight to redevelop this space, and the market conditions that have made moving forward a challenge. It's the story of one neighborhood, yes. But it's also the story of San Jose, and in many ways the entire San Francisco Bay Area.

In Sarah Wambaugh and the Plebiscite: The Turbulent History of a Democratic Alternative to War (Cambridge UP, 2026) Dr. Andrew Park tells the story of the rise and fall of the plebiscite, once seen as a promising democratic solution to international conflict which – more than once – became embroiled in controversy and war in the first half of the twentieth century. The book's central figure is the brilliant but largely forgotten American scholar Sarah Wambaugh, the leading expert on the plebiscite technique whose dramatic career took her to many of the world's political hotspots. The norms she developed for the technique continue to shape how self-determination and popular suffrage in international affairs are thought about and conducted today. In a world where borders are again being redrawn by force and democracy everywhere appears under strain, this book is a timely and compelling reminder that such events are not new. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Episode Summary Everyone talks about hitting 10,000 steps a day… But do you actually need it? Is it backed by science—or just a marketing number that stuck? And if it works… why are so few people actually doing it? In this episode, we break down the truth behind 10K steps—where it came from, what actually matters, and why it might be one of the most underrated habits in fitness. Because here's the reality: Most people aren't under-training… They're under-moving.  What We Cover The Real Story Behind 10K Steps The 10,000-step goal didn't start as science—it started as marketing with a Japanese pedometer called "manpo-kei" (10,000-step meter). But here's the twist: Even though it started as marketing… it works. Modern research shows major health benefits in the 7,000–10,000 step range, especially compared to a sedentary lifestyle. It's not magic—it's a target that works. The Hype vs. The Truth There's a lot of noise around steps: The Hype: You must hit 10K or it doesn't count It's the best fat loss tool More steps = always better The Truth: 6–8K steps already delivers major benefits 10K is a strong target—not a requirement The real win is daily movement consistency  10K isn't the goal—it's the guardrail. Why Steps Actually Work Walking works because it's simple, sustainable, and powerful. Burns calories through daily movement (NEAT) Helps regulate blood sugar—especially after meals Supports the nervous system (low stress, high return) Aids in recovery, circulation, and joint health At SISU, we don't just train hard… We move often. Why Most People Don't Hit 10K This isn't a fitness problem—it's a lifestyle problem. Desk jobs Screen time and phone addiction Thinking workouts "check the box" No awareness or structure  It's not hard physically—it's hard behaviorally. How to Actually Hit 10K Steps You don't need a 2-hour walk. Break it up across your day: Morning: 2–3K steps Midday: 3–4K steps Evening: 3–4K steps Simple ways to build it in: Walk after meals (10 minutes ≈ 1,000 steps) Take walking meetings Park farther away Walk while on calls Go for a walk with your spouse or family  Steps are one of the easiest ways to connect as a couple.  Walk It Out Challenge This is exactly why we created the Walk It Out Challenge. Simple goal Built-in accountability Community-driven Designed for real life Whether you're a beginner, a busy professional, or a couple looking to level up together—this is your entry point.  Takeaway You don't need a more intense plan. You need more consistent movement.  Action Step Start today: Track your steps Add a 10-minute walk after your next meal Invite a friend or partner to join you Simple habits. Daily reps.

In a world where borders are again being redrawn by force and democracy everywhere appears under strain, this book is a timely and compelling reminder that such events are not new. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
